MERE OPINION.
((lhicago Record -Herald.)
Wen water begins to Row uphill Jeal-
ousy may listen to Reason.
To a man who is worth while, loafing
is the hardest work in the world,
If you wish to pay a woman the high-
est compliment possible, make a fool of
yourself on her account.
When a girl answers "No,"it is pretty
certain that she has good reasons for ex
peoting the man to ask again, •
The hardest lesson to be learued in
this world is that poverty is a blessing
A man can't afford to hold his head
very high if be isn't talked about, nor a
•roman if she is.

Mr. John MoCreight is suffering with

story, "Sweet Revenge" by Captain. F. this winter.
A. Mitchell, will be found on another
page of this issue.
—An editor died in Prussia leaving an
estate of about $$32,000,000. There must
be good money in the newspaper busi-
ness in that country.
—Mr and Mrs David Rush are return
ing to town from Toronto. Wingham-
ites are always pleased to hear of form-
er residents returning to town.
—In speaking of the weather the other
day a Winghamite said, "The wind be-
ing from the south on the 21st we are to
have six weeks of fine, warm weather."
—A piece of sidewalk opposite the
Union factory needs repairing. The tile
under the walk has given away and left
a clangorous hole which has beem tem-
porarily repaired.
—Mr. Thos. Hallam, for nearly twenty
years an employee at the union factory
is leaving town to take up farming, hav-
ing some time ago pnrohaseci a farm
near Clandeboye.
Miss Myrtle Sharp has gone to Chi-
cago to accept a position. She has a
sister residing in that city.
Mr. Geo. °onites, Mr. J. A.
McKay, Mr. Geo. 'Gillies and Miss Lizzie
Gillies left for the West on Tuesday
morning.
A happy event took place at the home
of Mr. Johnston on Friday evening Last,
when hie daughter, Miss Kate was mar-
ried to Mr. Samuel Hutchison, our vil-
lage blacksmith. Both bride and groom
are very popular and will have the very
best wishes of a large circle of friends.
List Sunday evening in the Methodist
church, Rev. Mr Finlay preached the
strongest temperance sermon we have
ever had the privilege of hearing. His
text was the 12th verse of the second
chapter of Habakkuk. The temperance
question, he said, was a live issue and
wculd continue to be such while such
terrible evil and crime resulted from the
liquor traffic. The present Government
had given us retrograde legislation in
claiming sixty temperance votes to equal
forty non -temperance. "If strong drink
was abolished now about the revenue?"
He said that in 1^01 Ontario paid out for
liquor, $18,84'3,7'70; revenue from same
$557,158; cost of collecting, $18,257,1121,
or $33 for every $1 of revenue. The
liquor traffic is well organized and has a
financial backing and the political parties
show favor to it. If the temperance
poople were well organized and true to
their principles, they could got what
they asked for from either political
party. Mrs. Finlay sang a temperance
solo, the choir joining in the chorus.
Next Sunday Mr. Finlay will preach a
sermon appropriate for Easter and the
choir will furnish special music.

Hon Mr Emmerson on Friday stated
that $93,879,702 82 had been expended
on the canals of Canada from 1896 to
190G. During the period $'.3,760,000 had
been spent on the Trent Valley Canal
alone. The approximate cost of com-
pleting the Trent Valley with an eight
foot level from Lake Simooe to Georgian
Bay, would be about 21,550,000, and
from Healy's Falls to Trenton $3,000,-
000. Regarding Canadian railways the
Minister said that in 1006 the total mile-
age was 21,5111, au increase of 5,131
miles over 18:16.
The Kingston Whig says :-Every daily
newspaper office has more or less diffi-
culty with anonymous correspondence.
We believe that not only are unsigned
communicationa practically valueless
from the stand point of influence, but
they are practically annoying if they
contain anything which could be con-
structed into a personal attack. We
are thoroughly convinced that the man
who has anything to write worth writ-
ing, should append his name to what he
has written, and if he does not think it
worth putting his name, why should he
expect a paper to think it worth publish.
ing:
Pittsburg has a minister who says
strong things. On a recent Sunday be
said: "Once the parent, then the
teacher, then the preacher was the
world's great mentor; now the editor is
more potent than them all. We want a
purified press. We want honest editors.
People generally desire newspapers that
are clean and newsy. Papers are gradu-
ally growing better. The clergy can do
its part towards educating the pablio to
patronize the clean, the pure, the in-
structive, the best papers." "Here is a
pointer for ministers everywhere. No
class of professional men owe more to
the newspapers than do the ministate
yet bow rare it is to hear them cont -
mending the newspapers.- Some of
them do not even aubaoribo for their
local paper, but are willing to take All
they can get and ire nothing
in return.
